I wonder if it would be possible for one of the major players to quite literally buy all the Darknet technology and use it to create the Skype equivalent of a subscription based network for book sales.
I know that is a way out here idea and there is the whole creative commons thing, but, with the right amount of cash, anything can be bought in order to control it. Think of it as sort of Twitter for book/media downloading legally all based on some sort of subscription model. Different catalogs charged for access accordingly. That way the publishers do little to no work, and they still get paid. I know it's a silly idea but since they cannot beat them, then the old adage in business is to buy them out.
